There's a forest fire burning about 50 miles south of here. Check out the color of the sky! I asked several people (including a forest ranger) how concerned I should be about this, and the answer was "not much". They move slowly and shouldn't be an issue if I stick to paved roads. They're redirecting hikers on the PCT, but road traffic should be unaffected. Avoiding forest fires, a new degree of difficulty! (pun!)
As soon as I cleared Washington Pass the skies cleared up. The smoke tends to stay in a valley, so I've got clean air ahead of me.
